Outlook Express will not run a program associated with a file extension, it invokes only a view or show function of the assigned program. Double-clicking the same file stored anywhere else on the computer will run the program, it just won't run inside Outlook Express. This is considered a security feature of Outlook Express. Kodak EasyShare does not have a view or show function.
Compounding Bill's problem was the fact that the actual program is EasyShare.exe but it displays with the name Kodak EasyShare and some of the icons said the program was in a folder under c:\program files\kodak - it was not there - bummer!! It took some searching to find the real program (see below).
The fix: in folder options, file types, select the file type and click the Advanced button towards the bottom. Click New and type Open in the "Action:" text box. Then in the "Application used to perform action:" box type the full path to the filename followed by the "%1". Here is what we typed on Bill's computer for JPE, JPEG, and JPG file types:
"c:\Kodak\Kodak EasyShare Software\bin\EasyShare.exe" "%1"
the full file path must be exact, including any spaces. The double-quotes are needed to allow embedded spaces.
